This is the lead-in to the following week's Fiera/Chicana hair match, which I'd already seen but was unfortunately edited down to about 7 minutes. Fiera's involvement was annoyingly limited here, not just because his two partners aren't all that good, but because Fiera himself was clearly on a madness and why would we not want every bit of that? Within the first 15 seconds he's lying face first in a chair, bleeding all over himself while Chicana kicks him in the head, as a woman cradling her child in the seat next to them looks on disapprovingly (though the child didn't seem arsed about it). At a few points Fiera, covered in blood, bursts into life and goes after Chicana with manic glee, the best instance being his comeback in the segunda that kickstarts the tecnico resurgence. He was so far gone he started licking his OWN blood from his hands. Emilio and Bestia did the best they could with Vampiro and Jericho, respectively. Vampiro is at least pretty agile and throws a couple nasty kicks under the chin, but otherwise can't really convey anything while the rudos hold him up by the braids and kick the shit out of him. Jericho is enthusiastic but pretty sloppy. His twisting splash off the top was sort of awkward and his hurricanrana was all shoulder. Finish may have been a bit of an anti-climax, but at the same time Chicana repeatedly punching Fiera in his bleeding forehead until he's unable to kick out of a cradle wasn't the worst thing in the world. I wish we had the hair match in full, which probably goes without saying.
